before the british invested and developed, hong kong was a collection of farming and fishing villages, which have, as you can imagine, by and large disappeared from hong kong island and kowloon peninsula, the most populated area. tai o, situated on the west side of lantau island is one of a few surviving examples. lantau, the island itself, is better known as the home to the largest outdoor buddha in the world. it is never short of tourists. should you find yourself on the island one day, take the bus to tai o, pay a visit to the local, mostly ageing folks, and help with their effort of preserving the only lifestyle that is known to them for hundreds of years. while there, don't forget to treat the cats.
